All work and no play is not their motto, but they still managed to ace the exams, juggling between sports and studies.
BENGALURU - KARNATAKA - 29/05/2018 : Aditya Bopanna, CBSE 10th Toppers.
Aditya Bopanna, a national-level swimmer from Delhi Public School, Bangalore South, scored 80.6% in class 10 CBSE. “I’m filled with so much joy. Getting this percentage after swimming and studying together is actually pretty good for me. I used to squeeze in the free time I got for studies. I tried studying almost every day after my swimming classes. During exams, I got ample time to study because of study vacation but during school days I got around one or two hours. Swimming has taken most of my life and has become a part of me now.”
BENGALURU - KARNATAKA - 29/05/2018 : Ananya Dheep, CBSE 10th Toppers.
Another national-level swimmer from the same school, Ananya Dheep scored 74.2%. “I didn’t attend school much this year. I’m a national-level athlete as well. During exams, my day would start at four in the morning and I would then study for half an hour. I had practice for 3 hours in the morning followed by two more sessions of practice through the day. At the end of the day, I would get about 4 hours to study, I was able to manage between sports and studies as my parents supported me.”
